Rjd2, Work It Out

"This is the video for Rjd2's "Work It Out" from 'The Third Hand' (XL Recordings). The vid features Bill Shannon who was born with a degenerative hip condition. His legs cannot carry his own weight and so he has lived a life on crutches. He has developed a new way of moving through life on his skateboard and the crutches. Though this may look like a recreational hobby or a debilitation, it is simply how Bill maneuvers throughout the day. In time to Rjd2's song "Work It Out" we follow Bill as he makes his way around. At the slow start, Bill is descending the courthouse steps in downtown Brooklyn. It's difficult, but he makes it down and the rest you'll just have to watch to understand. Rjd2 plays several extras which you can try to spot as well. The video, directed by Joey Garfield, is one continuous single shot for the length of the song."

Garage Magazine #12

"In this new issue you’ll go deep into the FMK crew style secrets, while the infamous THE crew is celebrating his 10th birthday and Dmote is dropping bombs on the Aussie concrete and steel surfaces. Then, you’ll have to move between Ruedione’s photographic lens and the graphic skills going out Face and Jo Ratcliffe’s minds.
But this is just the beginning of this voyage, because the (Hand)Style guide volume 3 is right behind the corner: 32 pages of pure handstyle delight, a collection of street routines managed by Frisco’s most wanted vandal, Gusto, the Milan duo Bufer & Goldie and Cispeo from Paris.
Then articles, travels, discussions and loads of throwies, tags and bombs allover the world."

Wooden Toy

"If you haven't seen the latest version of Wooden Toy magazine that came out a couple of weeks ago, you're in for a treat. Where once stood a tiny skate and art culture zine now stands a much larger, serious 156 page, quarterly art book with more texture than a dusty road. The latest issue, "the Collector's Edition", looks as if it had been found under a bunch of old books in your grandfather's garage and is choc a block full of incredible retro type and design detail. With only 2000 hand numbered editions printed it's sure to be a collectible."
